Avoidance

In this comedy, a man who is deeply averse to conflict finds his life turned upside down when his nine‑year‑old son becomes the catalyst for change. Compelled to confront his avoidance habits, he must alter his behaviour to meet his child’s needs. Romesh Ranganathan stars, bringing his trademark humour to the situation, as the protagonist grapples with the discomfort of facing disagreements head‑on. Each episode highlights the tension between his instinct to keep the peace and the inevitable disputes that arise in everyday family life. Through witty set‑pieces, he learns that confronting disagreements can strengthen his bond with his child.

Spencer receives an invitation to join a laser‑quest gathering, an event that should be simple fun. However, his colleague Jonathan becomes overly involved, treating the outing as if he were a parent supervising a child. His excessive interference distracts him from his own responsibilities and puts Spencer in an awkward position. As Jonathan continues to over‑parent, the risk grows that he’ll cause Spencer embarrassment in front of the other participants. The situation also threatens Jonathan’s own employment, in the workplace, as his behaviour could lead to him being dismissed. The episode follows the tension between trying to help and overstepping boundaries.

Jonathan and Spencer remain lodged at Danielle’s place, and the atmosphere there is growing increasingly strained. With the pressure mounting, Jonathan finds himself cornered and decides to mislead Claire, claiming he’s already located a new flat. He tells her the move is imminent, even though no such arrangement exists, hoping the lie will ease the tension and buy them some breathing space. Meanwhile, Spencer continues to cope with the cramped living conditions, aware that the unresolved situation is only adding to the unease in the house. Both men know the arrangement can’t last, and each day feels like a ticking clock. Jonathan’s false claim to Claire is a desperate bid to keep the peace, even if it builds an illusion.
